008.03 RESTORED OR RETROACTIVE BENEFITS.

Restored or retroactive benefits for prior months not affected will not be reduced or cancelled, even though they are issued during the time period the statewide benefit reduction is in force. The agency will continue to make benefits available as needed to provide these restored or retroactive benefits. Households whose benefits are reduced or cancelled as a result of a reduction or cancellation are not entitled to restoration of lost benefits at a future date. However, if Food and Nutrition Service determines that restoration can take place as a result of surplus funds from the reduction or cancellation, the agency provides affected households with restored benefits.
